Enrique Gil, Julia Montes Visit Dubai Autism Center

Dubai Autism Center Thursday, January 30, 2014

What do 50 Cent, Mike Tyson, Enrique Gil and Julia Montes have in common? They have all recently visited the Dubai Autism Center (DAC), fast becoming one of the premier centers in the Gulf region to offer internationally proficient services in the field of autism.

The DAC welcomed recently two of ABS-CBN TFC's "ASAP Live In Dubai" stars: Enrique Gil and Julia Montes who came to visit the Center and express their strong support to the autism cause. Both youthful Filipino celebrities were part of the hugely successful "ASAP Live in Dubai" back-to-back concerts last January 24 which ABS-CBN TFC co-presented with OSN, the region's leading pay-TV network and now the exclusive hub of TFC subscribers in the region.

DAC Events & Project Manager Farhan Shahid warmly received the celebrity guests and accompanied them in a tour of the facilities where they spent time with students with autism.

At the end of the visit, Gil and Montes signed on the VIP’s guest book, expressing their admiration for the efforts undertaken by the Center towards children with autism and wishing everyone greater success in their endeavors to help people with the condition.

Farhan Shahid commented: “The visit reflects Enrique and Julia’s concern about individuals with autism... I am impressed by their keenness to understand and find out more about the disorder... They have left a lasting impression on all staff members.”

DAC is a non-profit organization launched in 2001 with the main objective of successfully integrating children with autism into the community through focused efforts in creating social awareness about the condition.

Today, 57 students are provided with a holistic individualized intervention program that includes academics and various therapies: behavioural, speech, occupational, music and play as well as professional medical care. In addition to the intervention program, the Center has an internationally acknowledged assessment and diagnosis unit.

Autism is a complex neurobiological disorder that lasts throughout a person’s life. It affects the person’s verbal and non-verbal communication abilities as well as imaginative play and social skills. Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) transcend social, cultural and geographic boundaries. According to recent studies, 1 out of 88 children is affected by ASD.

FIRST MOVIE NINA COCO AT JULIA NA A MOMENT IN TIME NOW SHOWING!

A Moment in Time Wednesday, February 13, 2013

Perfect movie date ang handog ng Star Cinema sa lahat, lalo na sa fans nina Coco Martin at Julia Montes, ngayong Valentine's month dahil ang pinakaaabangang first big screen team-up ng phenomenal love team na "A Moment In Time" ay ipalalabas na sa mga sinehan nationwide sa darating na February 13 (Wednesday).

Ayon kina Coco at Julia, swak sa Araw ng mga Puso ang "A Moment In Time" dahil sa punong-puno ito ng pagmamahal. "This time, gusto naming magpakilig, magpa-in love at mang-inspire ng bawat manonood. Sa movie kasi, iibahin ko ang mundo ng karakter ni Julia na Jilian. Tuturuan ko siya kung paano mabuhay," kwento ni Coco. "Di ba 'pag may boyfriend o girlfriend ka, mlnsan may mga bagay kang nagagawa na kahit alam mong labag 'yun sa prinsipyo mo ay gagawin mo pa rin dahil in love ka. At 'yung mga bagay na 'yun ang dapat abangan sa movie."

Dagdag ni Julia, sa love story nina Jilian (Julia) at Patrick (Coco) sa 'A Moment In Time' ay kapwa mararamdaman ng moviegoers ang saya, excitement at sakit ng tunay na pag-ibig. "Tungkol siya sa dalawang taong nagmamahalan na sa gitna ng maraming conflicts nila ay mapapaisip ang moviegoers kung sa ganoong sitwasyon ay ano ang susundin mo~puso mo ba o isip mo," ani Julia. "Hindi lang love ng teenagers ang tina-tackle ng movie kundi maging 'yung relationships at challenges sa family kapag may dumarating na mga problema."

Kapwa inamin nina Coco at Julia na nakaka-relate sila sa roles nilang sina Patrick at Jilian dahil sa pagkakapareho nila sa ugali at paniniwala. Ani Julia, "Pareho kami ni Jilian na sweet at ma-effort pagdating sa love. Pareho din din kami na laging nagpu-prove ng sarili na iba 'yung nakikita o naiisip ng tao sa akin sa totoong ako."

Para naman kay Coco, sa pamamagitan ni Patrick ay maipapakita niya sa mga manonood ang ibang side ng sarili niya. "Madalas na nilang akong nakikitang seryoso, umiiyak, at galit na galit. This time, makikita nila ang isa pang parte ng pagkatao ko," sabi ni Coco. "Kadalasan sa lahat ng mga soap opera o pelikula na ginagawa ko ako 'yung nagre-react,ako yung suplado, ako 'yung hard-to-get. Dito sa 'A Moment In Time' baligtad naman, ako naman 'yung masiyahin, jologs, kalog. Basta kakaiba!"

Kung may malaking aral man tungkol sa pag-ibig na matututunan sa 'A Moment In Time,' ito, ayon kina Coco at Julia, ay ang ipaglaban ang dedisyong ginawa mo. "Hindi lang sila kikiligin at maiiyak sa movie, matututo din silang manimbang kung ano nga ba 'yung ipaglalaban nila, 'yung taong minamahal nila o 'yung kapakanan ng mas nakararami," ani Julia.

"Sa buhay naman kasi, tayo ang nagde-desisyon sa lahat, lalo na kung paano mo pangangalagaan ang isang bagay tulad ng isang relasyon. Choice na ng tao 'yun kung paano natin aalagaan o kung gusto mo ba siyang mawala o hindi," pahayag naman ni Coco.

Tulad nina Coco at Julia, proud na proud rin ang direktor na si Emmanuel "Manny" Palo sa naiibang kwento ng "A Moment In Time."

"It is a story about a couple who met and fell in love na biglang may nangyari sa kanilang past na magiging hadlang para ipagpatuloy nila ang kanilang relasyon," kwento ni Direk Manny. "Sabi nga sa pelikulang ito: 'love can happen by chance, but love can also be lost by choice.' Kasi minsan may mangyayari sa buhay mo na hindi inaasahan at 'yung pangyayaring iyon ang maaaring magbago sa buhay mo."

Samantala, pawang masaya rin para kina Coco at Julia ang mga de-kalibreng aktor na kasama nila sa "A Moment In Time." Para kina Gabby Concepcion at Cherie Gil na gumaganap sa pelikula bilang mga magulang ni Jilian, magaan katrabaho ang phenomenal love team.

"They're nice to work with, magaan. Para silang mag-barkada talaga. I think they've been obviously working a lot together already so they're very relaxed," sabi ni Cherie. "I'm enjoying Julia very much because there's a lot of instinctive potential in her and she's very sensitive, down to earth, focused, and masaya."

Dagdag naman ni Gabby, "Bagay sila Coco at Julia sa isa't isa. Okay katrabaho ang tambalan nila dahil wala kaming hassle sa set and everything was smooth sailing."

Tampok rin sa "A Moment In Time" sina Cherie, Gabby, ZsaZsa Padilla, Ella Cruz, at ang kambal mula sa PBB Teen Edition 4 na sina Joj at Jai Agpangan.

Huwag palampasin ang unang pagtatambal sa pelikula at ang pagpapatuloy ng 'walang hanggang' ningning nina Coco at Julia, "A Moment In Time," mapapanood na sa mga sinehan nationwide sa February 13, 2013.

This time, makikita nila ang isa pang parte ng pagkatao ko," he said. "Kadalasan sa lahat ng mga soap opera o pelikula na ginagawa ko ako 'yung nagre-react, ako 'yung suplado, ako yyung hard-to-get. Dito sa 'A Moment In Time' ballgtad naman, ako naman >ung masiyahin, jologs, kalog. Basta kakaiba!"

Coco and Julia further shared that if there is one lesson about love that the moviegoers will learn from their first big screen team-up, it is having the will to fight for your decision. "Hindi lang sila kikiligin at maiiyak sa movie, matututo din silang manimbang kung ano nga ba Yung ipaglalaban nila, 'yung taong minamahal nila o 'yung kapakanan ng mas nakararami," said Julia.

Like Coco and Julia, director Emmanuel "Manny" Palo is also proud of the unique story of "A Moment In Time."

Kasi minsan may mangyayari sa buhay mo na hindi inaasahan at 'yung pangyayaring iyon ang maaaring magbago sa buhay mo."

Meanwhile, the top caliber co-actors of Coco and Julia are all delighted with the experience of doing with the phenomenal love team. For Gabby Concepcion and Cherie Gil, who are playing the role of Jilian's parents in the movie, Coco and Julia are both easy to work with.

"They're nice to work with, magaan. Para silang mag-barkada talaga. I think they've been obviously working a lot together already so they're very relaxed," said Cherie. "I'm enjoying Julia very much because there's a lot of instinctive potential in her and she's very sensitive, down to earth, focused, and masaya."

Gabby added, "Bagay sila Coco at Julia sa isa't isa. Okay katrabaho ang tambalan nila dahil wala kaming hassle sa set and everything was smooth sailing."
